Auckland is New Zealand’s largest city and home to a number of great restaurants and tasting rooms. As one of the older wine regions in the country, the coastal exposure provides favorable conditions for growing fleshy, heavier wines with pear and stone fruit influence. Keeping in mind that Auckland is still pretty far north for New Zealand, the cloud cover here and ocean breeze in the afternoon help prevent conditions of too much heat.
More popular labels recognized around the world from this area are Kumeu River Chardonnay (Auckland), Stonyridge (Waiheke Island) and Man O’ War (Waiheke iIsland). A trip to the island from the Aquaduct is a short 40 ferry within the harbour. Waiheke is a great day trip to meet a guided wine tour, while those with more time should plan a night or two to relax and visit more in depth the marine reserve and oyster farms.
